What is your go-to approach for individual therapy?

My go-to approach for helping people in individual therapy is client-centered. I find the best benefit in this approach because it empowers, validates, and supports the client.

What tools do you teach in individual therapy?

I teach the following tools in individual therapy:

  • Grounding techniques: Focusing on the 5 senses to bring their thoughts to the present.

  • Journaling.

I know a client is making meaningful progress in individual therapy when they report a decrease in symptoms.

Clients can supplement their time in individual therapy with seeking out appropriate support groups and journaling.

Individual therapy FAQs

What is individual therapy?

Individual therapy, also known as Individual therapy, allows people to engage in private sessions with a skilled therapist, counselor, or psychologist. The core objective of individual therapy is to establish a secure and confidential setting where you can openly discuss whatever emotional, psychological, or behavioral challenges you face. Through these one-on-one sessions, the client and therapist work together to delve into, comprehend, and ultimately find solutions for the issues at hand in their life.

How does individual therapy work?

Individual therapy unfolds in a structured process, commencing with an initial assessment in which the therapist gathers essential information about your history, concerns, and objectives. Together, you and your therapist collaboratively establish specific, attainable goals for your sessions, which can encompass symptom alleviation, personal development, or finding solutions to particular challenges.

★★★★★
Scheduling online is generally very easy but it would be nice to be able to book future appointments with my provider right from the portal instead of clicking a link from an email. When I try to book again from the portal, I’m always shown different providers in the area but not mine. My provider is excellent, and I feel much better overall after our sessions!
